Max Attacks is a 2019 children's picture book written by Kathi Appelt and illustrated by Penelope Dullaghan. It is about a distractible young cat called Max who is obsessed with some fish in a bowl but continually leaves them to pounce on things including socks, shoelaces, and a lizard on a flyscreen but always returns to the bowl. He eventually "pounces" on his food bowl, eats lots, then has a cat nap.

Reception

In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews wrote "Rollicking rhymes and playful language create an admiring third-person narrative that perfectly captures Max’s energy and charm.",[1] commended the text typeface ("The typeface .. adds personality and enhances the humor.") and illustrations ("Textured brush strokes add to the sense of movement, while simply drawn features convey a wealth of emotion ...").[1]

Max Attacks has also been reviewed by Publishers Weekly,[2] Booklist,[3] and the School Library Journal.[4]
